I think you're mistaking the parents of these kids as kids of boomers. They arent. These are the kids of Gen X, and after. and we never had the numbers to make a difference. We were indoctrinated with Reganomics, subverted, and generally not raised well. And our kids suffer for that too.

We would have liked to do a better job - but the damn boomers wont retire or get out of the way.

that said - you go kids! run of office Millennials! We'll vote for you. Be loud, Be articulate and expressive. The boomers will die off. they have to die off - and together maybe we can make some progress.

People are used to seeing administrators as the enemy, in this case, it appears they are being a real friend to the students. Look at how this amplifies the message. And because the administrators aren't being dicks about it, it makes me think they are doing it for that very purpose. We've got rules: deal with it. Tada- meaningful protest.

I'll need to ask my instructor. I think (but I need to confirm) that all of our trapeze are synthetic. My reasoning is that we do a lot of things that twist up the lines, and I suspect that might kink a steel cable.

It's actually quite difficult to kink steel cable doing most aerial circus things, and steel cable used is typically a rotation resistant type. Generally it seems like people might use it for weight reduction and possibly comfort. I'm just trying to get a sense if the synthetic core cables live up to the hype

Not sure it’s just propaganda. Sure there’s a lot of big business, fat cat inertia in the system

But unfortunately the sun only shines 50% of the time on average (ignoring clouds) and the wind only blows at the right level 30% of the time on average so there’s still a gap of 50% to 20% best case on average. More in most areas of the country.

The cost of cost levelized energy storage is still multiples more than any other source to fill that gap, and we’re talking thousands of times more needed to maintain stability.

My point is that current technologies won’t make it at anything like the cost level we see now. If we were serious about it, we need huge investment in primary r and d to new tech.

i'm sorry to say this but noone in that office will benefit from an audit. The only way you could get through to them is if someone committed credit fraud - on each one of them - something I'd never wish on anyone.

I think taxing the wealthy is the next area where Republicans will mirror Democratic politicians.

In my opinion, Trump represented how partisan most America was willing to go. The political system is starting to reward good governance over ideological loyalty. Republicans are seeing the light after seeing the threat of losing their seats.

Can you imagine the review you would get from "Quality Manager" if you were a dentist?

"I needed a root canal, but decided that it would be cheaper to just remove the tooth and not fix the underlying problem, or replace the tooth with a replacement. Dentist removed the bad tooth as instructed, but replacement tooth did not grow back into place -1/10 will not return."

I have no fear of the upcoming takeover of sentient AI and robotic warlords because I know that no matter how sophisticated our technology gets, it will always be vulnerable to simple things like a stray piece of wood. Bowling ball.

the media hasnt caught on to how the infiltrators use social media, that is they use it in the same way the rest of us do. To call it hacking is bullshit. Abuse of the venue? Certainly. but there isnt anything in posting lies and propaganda that involves an actual infiltration (in a technological sense)

but hey they want to sensationalize it.

in the end we all have is to call out the bullshit and stop the lies from propagating. Use facts, cite sources.

The site owners could go and ban accounts when identified, and should - but that isnt stopping anyone from setting up another account.

It's like how after hearing the odds of there being a bomb on a passenger flight I started freaking out...then I realized what the odds of there being 2 bombs on the same plane were, and now I don't have any problem flying....
